Hi, folks,
I find that I'm starting to lose track of how long I've been here; that's a good sign (or a sign of age!). In the past week, I've spent my 1st nights alone at the house, while the kids were in Oregon visiting their dad; it went fine! I've also had my 1st guests--dear friends from Wisconsin. That prompted me to make decisions on the boxes that were still sitting around undealt w/. Most are in the basement, but some got unpacked. Regardless, they are no longer in my living space. Boy, the house looks bigger! I baked for the 1st time--brownies--& successfully located all my ingredients & supplies. They even tasted good. I've decided that, even though I will continue to look for a local church, I don't need to cut off ties w/ my former church &, in fact, it's probably a good idea to visit there, now & then. I still have some things to face. Today, I had better mow the lawn (have to put oil & gas in, 1st!). Between rain almost every day & unpacking, if I leave it much longer, I'm gonna need a baler! We've seen a couple of doctors & they're nice. Basically, folks, it's all good. Now I need to pull myself together to do some preparation for school (starts Sept. 2nd) & kick Jay's rear end to get him ready to move into college on August 30th! We'll see what I think about empty nest.
best to all,
Barbara
